For over 20 years, the AIVC has been a key player in developments in technical knowledge on ventilation and related issues, and has always been very active in the dissemination of information. Since its creation in 1979, there has been a substantial change in the users' expectations of how information on ventilation knowledge should be disseminated. The AIVC has always tried to adapt its strategies to these evolving needs. In the first part of this paper, a brief historic overview is made. It is followed by a more extensive discussion of our envisaged new approach.
The INBEMI (Instituto de Beneficio de Minerales) is a Research Institute of the National University of Salta, working on the areas of mineral processing and extractive metallurgy. At present, the INBEMI is mainly working in the field of boron industry using borates as raw material. The main borate deposits in Argentina are in the northwestern provinces, near the borders with Chile and Bolivia. Among the research studies an important place is given to the industrial ventilation, including the control of the air quality that is discharged to the external atmosphere.
Overview of the programme, covers opportunities for solar energy in the 21st century, advancing solar building technologies, solar low energy buildings, and the future.
